Coffee ... Priceless

My card today is inspired by both the sketch and picture at the current Fusion Card Challenge - Coffee.

I inked-up two of my Technique Junkies Coffee stamps - Cups 'n Mugs and Coffee Barcode (2 must-have stamps if you're a coffee stamp collector like me) - in coffee-colored Versafine Clair Acorn Ink ... remember, you can get 10% off those stamps and anything else you purchase from the Technique Junkies store using my discount code TJ10Stephanie.

I cut the background stamp in half and added the border (inspired by the color of the notebook in the photo) between the pieces and the Coffee Barcode Sentiment mounted on foam tape.

I finished by adding some gold metal circle embellishments to the centers of the flowers on several of the Coffee Cups.

Pumpkins, Pumkins everywhere

Hello stampers!  Fall is in the air and why not make a tribute to the season with an autumn card.  I love pumpkins and in a pie is even better. 

Today I have used Pumpkin and Life is Beautiful.  Unfortunately the sentiment does not show up well in this photo, but in real life it looks terrific.

You can purchase these stamps, or any other product that is not on the clearance rack, at 10% off simply by using the code TJ10Beth.  Who doesn't like to save money? 

What is your favourite part of autumn?  For me it is the cozy sweaters and walking in the park surrounded by trees in full colour. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Watch the Leaves Turn

Leaf Twig is a perfect stamp to pair with Leaves Turn.  Both stamps were with Versamark and heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder.  I used Twinkling H2Os to paint the leaves on the black card stock.

Put On The Hat

Happy Sunday!  Lynda Joy here, with some halloween fun.

I created an A2 card from lime green card stock, and brushed some black ink through a web stencil from my stock.  I varied the pressure so it was more intense near the center of the web and faded out lighter at the edges.

I stamped the Put On The Hat image onto orange card stock, then onto purple card stock.  I layered the orange one onto a panel of purple, and added it to the web-covered card front.
 
I black-embossed the purple one, and fussy-cut it, adding it to the one on the card front with foam tape to give it extra dimension and texture. 

Inside:

 
I did a little doodling on the witch hat, which I had stamped in lime green. 

That's it!  Easy-peasy halloween card.  It's supposed to be 85 degrees here today, so it's difficult to think about fall holidays.  But, fall is in the air here in upstate NY.  Color is beginning to show up in the trees, and the geese are honking their way south to warmer climes.  I'm ready for fall, and all the glorious gifts it brings. 

Thanks for reading my post.  You can see my other cards from the Technique Junkies September release HERE. 
As I write this, I have two almost finished winter (gasp!) cards for the October 1st release on my desk.  We can't wait to share the fun new stamps, and hope to see you here for the excitement.

To create this card I started with a side folding white card base and a kraft panel. I masked off a section of the panel for the greeting. I stamped the background stamp with embossing ink and embossed it using rose gold powder. I used colored pencils to color the image. 

TJ Inkspirations: Inked and Sprayed Skeleton Leaf

I love fall. The weather has just started to turn slightly cooler here in Connecticut and it won't be long before Autumn shows all of her gorgeous colors.  Today's video celebrates the change of season and reminds us to slow down to enjoy things all at the same time. Today we are Inking and Spraying a Skeleton Leaf Stencil with amazing results. It truly is a 5 minute card, and it has a fabulous WOW factor!  This card is one of the Friday Night Make and Takes that we have been doing our tradeshows this month. It certainly is a favorite for many of our stamping friends. Here is the finished piece from the video:  Inked and Blended Skeleton Leaf   Ready for the video?
